  1. Beautiful ku!

    foreign land

    the ladybug walks
    across the hemisphere

    in the early twilight
    the pain of separation dwells
    in the painting of black and white

    the spider
    rides up and down
    on the mirror
    I readjust my face
    picking up the shinny hair

  2. Enjoyable, quiet, intimate haiku which captures a moment with clarity and simplicity! Nicely done!

  3. I love this. The contained intensity of it, the sense of time slowing down. (Edward Thomas' 'Adlestrop' comes to mind.)

    two thorns–

  4. Aw, this is so lovely, Dan. We spent a lot of our time as kids investigating insects in the garden and this brings me right back. Oh for the days when kids were fascinated by ladybirds/bugs! :)
